pretty easy to sum this movie up: AWESOME action sequences, horrible plot. It just seemed like really bad acting except for teh guy from American Psycho. But the action TOTALLY makes up for it, TOTALLY.
Oh and the action is exactly opposite of the Matrix in terms of speed. The Matrix slows down its scenes... Equilibrium speeds em up like crazy. If you like action get this!

As an action flick its not bad, the gun kata stuff is pretty cool, but the story rips alot from 1984 amongst other stuff, so you cant really call it a compelling ot original plot.

i agree the story is not original (but what ones are nowadays, they all follow a general format) however it did PORTRAY a somewhat orwellian world very very nicely! at the start it was so cold, bleak and grey!
i definately wish sean bean was used more, you could tell at the start where he steps out of the car he was MADE to play a person devoid of emotion. perhaps he would have been better suited as the character that the black guy played - because i didnt think he did too well.
one of the best movies i've ever seen, up there with my all time favourites
